RE: The impossible happened

This is a known bug in 6.4.1, I don't have a link off-hand (you should
be able to find more info from Google though).  You have a missing
package dependency somewhere (the error message should be reporting a
missing package rather than "unknown exceptino").

Cheers,
        Simon
